For bottled I go for Newsman own, and it's not just the social stuff! I love his balsalmic and his classic oil and vinegar. They are the only bottled I buy.

There are exceptions, but generally speaking, I prefer my own oil/lemon concoction: Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon Juice (fresh Meyer Lemon if available, but for most of the year regular lemon is all that's possible, and it's fine) -- approx equal quantities, seasoned to taste with salt, freshly ground pepper, garlic, dijon mustard, and whatever herb makes sense in the context of the meal -- for me, usually either thyme or tarragon, depending on whether I want more bite, or to soften the edges a bit.

RANCH ALL THE WAY FOR ME!!! I use ranch for almost everything. I dip mozzerella sticks and garlic bread in it. There is a local pizza shop where I live and they make the best ranch. I believe it's half/half mixed with hidden valley ranch dry mix. It's unreal!

Another ranch fan here. I've just started experimenting with different recipes for a homemade ranch, but haven't settled on a best one yet.

It is pretty much -- I'm not, but am very open to the influences of French cooking, and love to play till I find my own twist.

I love Raspberry Vinaigrette (sp?) but I also love Ranch as well. I don't like Ranch from a bottle, though. I like it when you can mix it yourself from the packets.

I love love love ginger dressing (the kind you get at Japanese restaurants) more than life itself.
I keep 2 bottles in my fridge at all times b/c I try to eat a salad every night.
Also, for all you Floridian TCS-ers...there is a great Spanish restaurant called the The Columbia (it has locations in Tampa, St. Augustine, Clearwater, Sarasota, and West Palm) and their 1905 salad is absolutely to-die-for!
<--- Yes, it's THAT good! AND you can buy it online

I usually ONLY eat italian, but if I had to pick something else it would be ranch. As far as italian goes, nothing beats the house usually, but at home I currently (and for about the last 5 yrs) have had an obsession with Marzetti's Italian.
